Shabbat Roast

Sometimes, the idea of cooking a big shabbat dinner can be pretty daunting. I mean, meat, roasts, sides, veggies, but then you come across super simple recipes for the main dish that taste so great and are pretty impressive, and you think to yourself, “hey, I can do this every week!”

That’s what this roast was to me. Not that I don’t love making crazy complicated dishes, especially fancy main ones, but when you come across an easy roast recipe, it’s great to try and simplify the rest of the day, especially when you’re feeding a dozen people, all with different taste buds.

This recipe is adapted (loosely) from a friend of mine, who made it on the same day. Both our recipes were a hit.
